Ashes to Ashes is an adventure module connecting to the story included in the first edition of the game's corebook.[2] The player characters are ordered to present themselves to Lodin, the Prince of Chicago, and find themselves involved in deadly vampire intrigue between two competing groups.[3]
Publication historyEdit
Ashes to Ashes was the first adventure module published by White Wolf Publishing for Vampire: The Masquerade, released in Q3 1991.[4] The 80-page adventure was written by Stewart Wieck.[3] In 1996, it was re-released as part of the compilation Chicago Chronicles Volume 3, together with the supplements Milwaukee by Night and Blood Bond.[5] A French edition of the adventure was published by Hexagonal in January 1993.[6]
Dragon'sRick Swan called this "an excellent first adventure for the quirky Vampire game." Swan thought the adventure "packed a lot of punch into 80 pages", but found that "the investigations are more successfully staged than the action scenes, and the finale is a bit underwhelming." Nonetheless, he recommended the product, saying that the author had served up "a gallery of the creepiest non-player characters this side of Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu."[3]Saga thought it was a good introductory story, and appreciated how it helps introduce players to the vampire community in Chicago.[8]
Looking back on it in 1997, Backstab called Ashes to Ashes one of the three most essential Vampire: The Masquerade supplements, along with The Players Guide and Chicago by Night,[9] and Dragon called it the best of the early Vampire: The Masquerade material.[10]Casus Belli thought it would be particularly useful together with the books Chicago by Night and The Succubus Club.[11]
